See what can go wrong when housing supply efforts aren’t viewed through the critical lenses of affordability, tree and watershed protection and tenant rights.
“Roughly 50 people gathered outside a Progressive Conservative constituency office in Hamilton on Thursday to protest a new proposed housing bill several groups say will be detrimental to tenants and the environment.
Members of organizations such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) — a tenant advocacy group with chapters in the Hamilton area — Environment Hamilton and Stop Sprawl HamOnt rallied outside MPP for Hamilton East—Stoney Creek Neil Lumsden’s office, sharing concerns about the “More Homes Built Faster Act.”
The demonstration in Stoney Creek was part of protests in other Ontario cities like London, Toronto and Ottawa.”
